HOW DO WE INCREASE
OUR SKILLS??????
FIRST – KNOW
YOURSELF!!
Take a REALISTIC
LOOK at ourselves!
Keep trying!
Based on your responses, your study habits have some room for improvement.
Fortunately, there's no need to panic—you already have some good study
habits. But you also have some that you can work on.
Take a look at your "Not Interested" column and give one or two of the items
listed a try. By improving just one or two additional study habits, you may soon
see a jump in your test scores. And that's what developing good study habits is
all about!
Keep It Up!
Based on your responses, you're already
working to improve your study habits.
Pick one or two of the items in the "Plan to
Do" column and give them a try. By
improving just one or two study habits, you
may soon see a jump in your test scores.
And that's what developing good study
habits is all about!
Great Job!
• Based on your responses, your study
habits are already very good.
• You already have great study skills, so
any improvements you make will only
lead to more success. Want to aim for
the best study habits possible? The
ultimate goal would be for all of your
responses to appear in the "Already
Do" column.

Don't Give Up!
• Based on your responses, you're not interested in
studying.
• Developing good study habits can be a challenge,
especially if you already have a busy life. But don't
dismiss the importance of studying.
• Fortunately, you don't have to change your study
habits all at once! Just pick one or two and give
them a try. You may soon see a jump in your test
scores. That small reward may be enough to
encourage you to work to improve your study
habits even more.
Learning Styles
• Write your name on a piece of paper.
Write your name with your non-dominant
hand.
Hmmmm . . . . What do we scv vcbc
ccvee?
• What would you do if they lost the use of
your dominant hand?
These are variations of adapting. This is
the primary concept behind learning
styles: we all have preferences for
learning new things in certain ways, but
we can also adapt when it’s necessary.
What is a learning style?
• Is the way a person learns
• Is part of who a person is
• Most people learn through a
combination of 3 primary learning
styles
• However, a person has a preference
Why is it important to
know your learning style?
• Helps you capitalize on your strengths and
improve weaknesses
• Improves performance on tests when
study habits are consistent with styles
• Your learning style may be the single most
important key to improving your grades
• Helps you work more effectively in groups
3 Primary Learning
Styles
• Auditory
(30%)
• Visual
(65%)
• Kinesthetic/Tactile
(5%)
FIRST:Look at “Often” column – for every one checked find the
corresponding number on the above chart and put a “5” in the PTS. column
NEXT:Look at “Sometimes” column – for every one checked find the
corresponding number on the above chart and put a “3” in the PTS. column
THEN: Put a “1” in all the remaining boxes (NOT THE VPS BOX at the
bottom)
Add up each column and put the total in the box at the bottom of that column
Total the score for each section. A score of 21 points or
more in a modality indicates a strength in that area.
The highest of the 3 scores indicates the most efficient
method of information intake.
The second highest score indicates the modality which
boosts
the primary strength.
For example, a score of 23 in visual modality indicates a strong
visual learner. Such a learner benefits from the text, from filmstrips,
charts, graphs, etc. If the second highest score is auditory, then the
individual would benefit from audio tapes, lectures, etc. If you are
strong kinesthetically, then taking notes and rewriting class notes will
reinforce information.
Auditory Learning Style
• Learn through hearing
• Remember things when they are heard
• Relate most effectively to the spoken
word
• Tend to listen to a lecture, take notes
afterwards
• Read information out loud
Visual Learning Style
• Learn through seeing
• Relate most effectively to written
information, notes, diagrams and pictures
• Take notes even when they have printed
course notes
• Most effective in written communications
Kinesthetic/Tactile
Learning Style
• Learn through moving, doing and touching
• Learn skills through imitation and practice
• Strong need for activity and exploration
Tips for Visual Learners
• Use pictures, charts, maps, graphs
• Have a clear view of your teacher to observe body language
and facial expressions
• Use color to highlight important points in text
• Take notes or ask teacher to provide handouts
• Study in a quiet place away from verbal disturbances
• Read illustrated books
• Visualize information as a picture to aid memorization
• Write a story and illustrate it
• Use multi-media

How to use your learning
style?
• Think about a course that you would like to
improve your performance

teacher

independently and with your teacher
better help you learn, i.e., study guides,
PowerPoint presentations, role playing, etc.
